Alert your team when a lead goes unanswered too long

The system checks your lead sheet every few minutes and pings your team on Telegram if a reply is overdue.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats schedule triggers next check; runs once per each overdue lead.

The problem it solves

Leads come in and sometimes sit unanswered while your team gets pulled into other work. By the time someone notices, the lead has gone cold and the opportunity may be lost.

Who it fits

Sales and support teams that need to respond to leads within a strict time window.

How it works

  1. The system checks your lead spreadsheet on a regular schedule
  2. It looks for leads marked unreplied past your response time limit
  3. It includes a direct link to the lead's row in the spreadsheet
  4. It sends an alert with the lead's details to your team on Telegram
What you get

Overdue leads caught before they go cold

You get an instant alert the moment a lead goes unanswered too long, with a direct link to follow up right away.

What you get

An instant Telegram alert naming the overdue lead and a link straight to its row.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and a Telegram bot.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
